An intruder into an Orem, Utah, garage got a little more than he bargained for. The homeowner confronted the 49-year old burglar in his garage at around 7 a.m., whereupon an altercation ensued. When the intruder attempted to assault the homeowner, the homeowner fired several shots in return, killing the man. (Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Lake City, Utah, 10/16/2018)
